He refused to make a statement, ex- cept to say that he had not shot Miss Keeley On a table in the room in which the awful crime was committed were two notes, which were written by O'Shea and which showed that he intended to commit suicide after killing the woman. They were written on Palace Hotel letter-heads, a number of which were found in his room. One of them was adressed to the sister of the dead woman informing her of his contem- plated crime and asking her not to wear mourning, as it was not becom- ing to her.

After he was taken in custody he told Detective Ryan that his revolver was lylng on the table in his room, and, as Miss Keeley entered, she picked it up. Thinking she intended to shoot herself he seized her and proceeded to take the weapon from her. In the struggle that followed it was exploded, the bullet striking her fn the head, causing instant death.

He seemed to be jealous of her, but refrained from giving me an inkling of the horrible crime he was about to commit. Before leaving me he asked that he be awakened at 8:30 o'clock, as he had some important business to attend to. “I knew my niece would visit me, as she promised to come as soon as the services at the church were over. I heard her walk upstairs, and, as she did not go to the kitchen, I con- cluded that O'Shea had intercepted her. “A few minutes later a shot rang out, followed by two more in ouick I straightway went to s room, fearing that he haa killed her.

'SPRUCE AND PINE GOODS HOW THE TRADE HAD BEEN AP- PORTIONED BY THE POOL. Figures Fixed for Certain Places. Rival Factories in Oregon Had to Be Taken Into Camp. The newest thing in lines monopolistic | 1s 2 box combine, and by the first of the coming year its influence will be felt the length and breadth of California. The prices of all kinds of wooden boxes will be raised soon after December 1. Negotiations to this end have been pending for some time past and now all of the preliminary arrangements have been | made by the many manufacturers of | boxes. So far the movement has been kept secret, and it is safe to say that its publicity will cause no little alarm among those who are obliged to use wooden boxes in order to handle different manu- factured products and fruit. The cut-throat policy of northern box manufacturers is what led to the form- ing of the combine, and the recent his- tory of this trade is of more than passing interest, especlally to those who come di- rectly or indirectly with the boxmakers. In the first place the trade is divided, a part making boxes of pine lumber and a part of spruce. The former are many and | are scattered all over the State. All of these companies were combined in what is known as the Pine Box Manufacturers’ | Agency, with an office_in the Crocker | building, over which G. X. Wendling pr sides as the manager. This is an old | organization and its members have hung together well. While the pine box makers get their material from the forests of | California, the spruce box makers are | obliged to rely upon the timber of Oregon, | | | | | Washington and British Columbia al spruce box the persistent | ted in For some time past the 1o trade has been killed by competition of the boxm: Portland. The northern peop ship the goods to this city in or bundies and the boxes would be assem- bled here. The facilities for getting out the material in the north were so favor- able that there was no_ trouble for the Portland folks to cut the prices of the manufactured articles down to such fig- ures that the makers of this city were al- most driven out of the business. This could not last forever, so the local box- makers, consisting of the American Box Factory, the Pacific Box Factory, the | Grays Harbor Commercial mpany, Hobbs, Wall & Co., and the Cl 1ill Company, decided to combine. was | kers Hoc; done, the pool taking the name of the | Spruce Package Company. Mr. Euler of the American Box Factory and J. F. C. | Hobbs of Hobbs, Wall & Co. were the | most active workers in effecting the new combine. As soon as the organization was effected, three of its most faithful and brightest managers and agents were sent to the north to turn the tide of | northern-mada boxes that were flooding the San Francisco and California markets. These_gentlemen were: J. R. Carrick of the Pacific Box Factory, L. H. Pler- son of the Grays Harbor Commercial Company and Mr, Kinney of the Clatsop Mill Company._ Soon after the Multno- mah and the Portland box factories en- tered into the agreement. The Portland | people insisted upon good terms and got them. These were the conditions made, | and which stand to-da. The Portland firms were not to send their goods into San Francisco nor were they to make or attempt to make prices | |in this city. For this concession the Spruce age Company agreed to pur- chase from the subsidized firms boxes in shooks amounting to one million feet each, or two milllon feet from both, per | year. With these two big Oregon fac- torles out of the San Francisco market, | the backbone of nerthern competition was | virtually broken. But the northern box- | makers were not the only rivals in busi- | ness that the Spruce Package Company | had to deal with. While the Pine Box Manufacturers’ Agency did not compete very strongly for San Francisco trade, it had the lion’s share of the country trade. | With the exception of a few bay counties, | such as Napa, Sonoma, Santa Clara, etc., | it had full swing on the magnificent 'trade of the orange growers in the south, the grape and ralsin producers of Fresno, the | Srchardists of the north and the butter makers along the coast. In the bay coun- ties named it was a case of fight for the | | trade, with a preference for the pine | goods. BRor a short time after the spruce box makers effected their combination the Hval pools eyed each other with suspicion. | Each recognized that the other was a power, and if they should compete for the | Prade it would be a case of dog eat dog, | and mighty poor picking for either In a | | Short time. ~Hence the combine. course, there were conditions in this con- fract. ' One is that the pine box people shall keep out of San Francisco, giving to the spruce parties an enormous’ trade. The apportionment of the trade of the | coast, while of much concern to the pub- lie, 1% insignificant as compared to the | 1ast clause of the agreement, to which all of the combine have subscribed, namely the prices.

Widber was not sentenced yesterday by Judge Cook. As expected a motion for a new trial was interposed by the prisoner's counsel, and the court postponed sentence for one week. In the meantime the court will decide upon the merits of the motion, and in event it is found wanting sentence will be passed. In such event the case will then be car- ried to the Supreme Court. When Widber's case was called the prisoner, in obedience to the court’s order, stood up to receive sentence, but, as his attorney, Edgar Peixotto, rose to make the motion for a new trial, he took his seat. The petition avers that the jury took cognizance of statements and evidence that was refused admittance by the court; that the court misdirected the jury; that the jury was guilty of mis- conduct and that new evidence, favorable to the accused, had been discovered. An affidavit was presented signed by B. C. Palmer, Constable of Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County, stating that affiant was present when Widber was arrested and noticed that he was apparently under the influence of drugs. He also advised the prisoner not to make any statement for publication, but to make a statement to the authorities on reaching this city.
